    The journal entry made to record the note on October 1:

    Dr Cash 370,000

    Cr Note payable 370,000

    Accrued interest by December 31 = principal x interest rate x time

    = $370,000 x 11% x 3/12 = $10,175

    The adjusting journal entry recorded on December 31:

    Dr Interest expense 10,175

    Cr Accrued interest payable 10,175

    Accrual accounting requires that all revenues and expenses must be recognized during the same period as they actually occur, not necessarily when they are collected or paid for.
